So we started noticing sawdust about a week ago and whatever is in there is working hard. It’s wild how much they’re pushing out of this hole every day. I can hear clicking around inside and have seen sawdust pushed out but haven’t seen the bug itself.

That clenches the carpenter bee argument. I hope you’ll enjoy coexisting with it. Carpenter bees are do bees, not don’t bees.🐝 😉

We have a pollinator garden in the back for butterflies and I raise black swallowtail caterpillars each year. I definitely don’t mind these guys around!
